Has anyone used any of the indoor propane space heaters that you can buy at like gander mountain?? I just bought one but never used one. Its suppose to be indoor safe but how's it suppose to be safe when it uses the regular 16oz disposable propane tanks?? confused.gif

Am i taking a chance by placing one of those in my tent this week-end when I go out deer hunting? confused.gif

That’s a tough call in a tent. There needs to be adequate ventilation so you do not gas yourself with carbon monoxide. Also, what happens if you knock it over? Is it a nylon tent? They would go up pretty quickly if the caught fire. If it is a canvas tent you might have time to get out if there was a fire.

I was checking out the Buddy heaters the other day and I believe it said something on the back of the box about NOT leaving the heater on in a tent while you sleep. I believe it's more of a ventilation/oxygen issue than a CO problem. I do believe these heaters have a low oxygen shutoff that will turn off the propane if the levels get too low, I'm not sure I would trust it though.

I've seen my friend use one when we went up a couple of weeks ago and they were fine. I guess I will read it more carefully before I put it up. I just wanted to know if anyone else have had experience with these or not.

I don;t know if its a nylon tent or not. It wasn;t a very expensive tent. IT was only like 60 bucks.

I will be using a newly purchased coleman black cat with 1lb disposable propane in our camper this weekend too. I will keep a couple of windows open and bring the CO2 detector. I think it will work just fine just as long as the camper isn't shut up tight. I will keep a few windows cracked.

      As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…

      I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...

      Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?

      I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
